Yeah we won't get much for Booth, his value is at an all time low. Multiple injuries lately and low point production, although he's looked decent when he has been on the ice. Maybe deal him next trade deadline if he puts up another 20+ goal season and we need cap space or a playmaker instead.

San Jose fans, any chance Demers is available?

It's not out of the question, but pretty unlikely once Murray was traded. Especially not at the deadline. Sharks have Irwin up already and their most NHL guy after that is Petrecki, who isn't exactly a replacement for Demers. Acolotse is injured (broken jaw) and Tennysson is a maybe next season, Albetshauser is atleast a full season away, along with Demelo.

Point is, we are swimming in talented defensive prospects, but that still doesn't make Demers expendable. I'd sooner trade Braun.

I'd probably do it from a San Jose viewpoint, you get a player who - let's be honest here - is likely going to be in and out of the lineup about as often as Havlat with maybe a slight dip in production, whom you can always buy out in 2014 if he doesn't rebound, throw in a 2nd rounder and a pretty solid prospect, and all you lose is a guy who has seasons of 27 points and (prorated) 22 points respectively.

For the Canucks, I would absolutely not do it.

What would it cost for Havlat? I thought you guys wanted to add speed to the lineup? Why no interest in Raymond he's tied for the Canucks lead in goals.

So... get faster by trading one of the faster skaters on the team? That makes loads of sense.

We don't want Raymond because he's an injury risk and prone to inconsistency. Havlat is an injury risk, but when he's playing he's consistent as hell. Our record with Havlat in the line up is dramatic compared to when he isn't.

I can't imagine he would be unless it were part of a bigger package. Sharks traded Murray to help clear up the logjam at the blueline, so dealing Demers as well would then create a bit of a depth issue for this season. They're not in full-on rebuild mode as they still fancy themselves a contender, but even if they were, he probably wouldn't be one of the assets the Sharks would use to get picks or prospects, unless he were part of a package. Maybe in the offseason.

If Demers is on the table, Jensen would have to be included from VAN. That's how Demers is valued.
